Loading Fuel and Cargo via EFB when starting on the Runway

[Norwenkel]

Is there a way to load cargo and fuel from the EFB when starting with engine on at the runway. Or a work around for that scenario would be perfect to know. If i remember it correctly this was possible with the aircraft in MSFS 2020. 

Thanks for your help

You can set REALISTIC FUELING to NO on the aircraft EFB Settings app. This should allow you to set fuel and payload with the engines running.

Thanks!

That worked perfectly. I only issue seems to be that GW is not shown up correctly in the middle MFD (?) screen

The value shown on the ECAM is dependent on the value entered on the MCDU.

So if you update fuel/payload in flight (or whilst engine is running), you need to update the GW manually by going to PROG > FUEL PRED page on the MCDU.

I'm having a bit of trouble with this. I can change fuel while the engine is running, for example removing 10 000 lbs using the EFB. I see the ECAM fuel reading reduce along with the fuel reading on the MCDU PROG->FUEL PRED. I also see the GW in PROG-FUEL PRED reduce. The only thing I don't see change is the GW on the ECAM, as noted above. I also see no change in the readout for optimal/max cruise. I pasted a screenshot of what I see after remove 10 000 lbs using the EFB, but without changing anything else on the MCDU.

 

If I try to enter anything on the MDU PROG-FUEL PRED GW line, then the reading on the ECAM goes really high. For example, when I enetered "256", I ended up with screenshot 2.

I think I figured it out. I had my EFB set to pounds. However, the GW field on the MCDU still expects kg. Note on my right image 256.0 kg = 563.8 lbs.

The limits on the GW entry still seem to expect pounds, so I can't just enter my updated GW in kg while leaving everything else in pounds. For example, if I enter 115 kg for 253 lbs, I get an out of range error when I have my EFB set to lbs.
